[bodytext] => If You Asked Me by:Elaine Cary If you asked me how i was,id say everything was fine. I would leave out the part where Id tell you that stress and sadness had taken over. I wouldnt tell you how angry i was with my father for never appreciating me. "Straight A's!" I told him, but he was still mad that i hadnt joined a sport this year. If you asked me what I've been up to, I'd tell you nothing at all. I wouldnt bother to mention that i get up in the morning, wondering what i could wear to help me fit in, Or what i could eat so that id stay thin. I would never how much i wished i was popular, pretty and perfect, That i stayed up til all hours focusing on my flaws. If you asked me what i was thinking about, I'd shrug and say,"not much." But All the while id be wondering about many things. Like why did my bus driver just die of cancer? Why do i complain when i know i should only be thankful? Why cant world peace ever be possible? My questions will remain unanwered. If you asked me how i felt, I'd tell you i was feeling wonderful. When secretly, I was depressed. I wouldnt share with you how many nights i stayed up listenening to my mom cry. Was it my fault? What did i do wrong? So many things i keep from the world. Suppose you were a stranger, and asked me who i was. Well, I'd start with, "Hi,Im Elaine."

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
